Borrowed Time Songtext
von Billy Porter

Hey baby
I′m living on borrowed time
Until I figure out a way to make you mine
Hey baby
Lately I'm living on borrowed time
Until I figure out a way to make you mine

This is how it all began
How I became a desperate man
Was in the lobby of the Hotel Lorraine
When I first laid eyes on her

Looking like a movie star
She had a body like a fancy car
Sat down at the hotel bar
And smiled as she looked my way
So I said, "Hey girl, what′s your name?"
And I thought my life would never be the same
And I said, "My heart is ready to resign
And I won't sleep, babe, until you say you'll be mine"


Hey baby
I′m living on borrowed time
Until I figure out a way to make you mine
Hey baby
Lately I′m living on borrowed time
Until I figure out a way to make you mine

She was playing hard to get
Puffing on a cigarette
Think she wanted to make me sweat
But I wouldn't be discouraged
Sparks were flying by the chemistry
Put me in a state of urgency
I was going to make her see
That I was the one, oh baby

Hey baby
I′m living on borrowed time
Until I figure out a way to make you mine
Hey baby
Lately I'm living on borrowed time
Until I figure out a way to make you mine

And she looked so good
And it felt so right
Girl, she nearly blew my mind
She looked so good
I′ve been living on borrowed time


Hey baby
I'm living on borrowed time

Until I figure out a way to make you mine
Hey baby
Lately I′m living on borrowed time
Until I figure out a way to make you mine

Hey baby
I'm living on borrowed time
Until I figure out a way to make you mine
Hey baby
Lately I'm living on borrowed time
Until I figure out a way to make you mine
